Outcomes in M&A transactions depend on many factors outside ABS’s control. No results are guaranteed. You should consult your own advisors regarding your specific situation.
Links to Third-Party Sites & Services
The Site may link to third-party websites or integrate third-party tools (“Linked Sites”). We don’t control and aren’t responsible for Linked Sites, their content, or practices. Links are provided as a convenience and don’t imply endorsement. Your use of Linked Sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.

Disclaimers
THE SITE AND ALL INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ABS AND OUR SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. ABS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

TO THE EXTENT ANY LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED US$100.
(Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such cases, these limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted.)
Arbitration Agreement
Please read this carefully—it affects your rights.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved by final and binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will take place in [Washington County, Arkansas] (or another location the parties agree upon) and in English. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
Class Action Waiver
Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. Class, representative, and collective actions are not permitted, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims without both parties’ consent.
You and ABS agree that the arbitrator shall decide all issues, including enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement. This section survives termination of these Terms.
Termination; Access Restriction
We may, in our sole discretion and without notice, suspend or terminate your access to the Site (or any part of it) for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. Upon termination, your right to use the Site ceases immediately.
Governing Law; Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and by applicable U.S. federal law. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in [Benton County, Arkansas] for any disputes not subject to arbitration.
No Agency
Your use of the Site does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship with ABS.
Severability; Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ABS regarding the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications about the Site.
A printed version of these Terms and any electronic notice is admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings to the same extent as other business documents originally generated and maintained in printed form.
Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. The “Effective Date” will reflect the latest update. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review the Terms periodically.
